What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill provides that for adult inmates, the Department of Corrections for state correctional institutions or the county sheriff for county jails or county houses of correction must prepare a written document that lists the rights of all adult inmates afforded under the U.S. Constitution, the Wisconsin Constitution, the Wisconsin statutes, and any applicable administrative rules and that explains any complaint processes available to inmates. DOC or the sheriff must update the written document once per year or within one week of a legal change that affects inmates' rights. DOC or the sheriff must post the document throughout the state correctional institution or county jail or house of correction and provide copies to each inmate upon entering the facility, being placed under restricted movement, being placed in solitary confinement, or upon request at any time. The warden or superintendent of a state correctional institution or the sheriff of a county jail or house of correction must explain an inmate's rights as set forth in the document upon the inmate entering the state correctional institution, county jail, or house of correction; upon the inmate transferring between state correctional institutions, county jails, or houses of correction; or upon request at any time.
The bill also provides the same requirements for juveniles in custody, except that DOC is responsible for preparing the document relating to juveniles, posting and distributing the document for type 1 juvenile detention facilities, and for ensuring that any juvenile detention facility, secured residential care center for children and youth, or juvenile portion of the county jail approved by DOC has a plan to distribute the document. The superintendent must explain a juvenile's rights as set forth in the document upon the juvenile entering a facility, upon the juvenile transferring between facilities, or upon request at any time.
